Mess.rs Jamieson & Dunavan having met John Bryant & persuaded him to discover all he knew about the scheme, & soon after brought him before me, then he made a deposition to this purpose & was sworn on the Cross being a Catholic, the substance of his deposition was as follows. That on the Passage from P. Jackson to Norfolk Island, it was talked among the Convicts to take the Golden Grove Transport from the Officers & people & run away with her, & on its being proposed to John Bryant he said it would be only fools to think of such a thing. That in going out to Work on the 14th of this month, with all the Convicts, Samuel Picket remarked, how easy it would be to take the Island, by making the Commandant prisoner [page 269] when going to, or returning from the Farm in Arthurs Vale, after which coming in, & seizing the Arms & making prisoners of the Marines & other Free people, It was soon after agreed that the rest of the Convicts were to be consulted, & if agreable a meeting was to be held at John Thompsons house in the Vale Samuel Picket & Joshua Peck being inmates of his. the remainder of Bryants deposition respecting how the Island was to be taken, &c. agrees in every particular with William Eliza.h Andersen, & Robert Webbs.
